Default page Question?

[brewbeer]

I run apache 1.3 and dumbfounded by how the default web page is assigned. It just brings up my htdocs/directory. I need to turn file view off and default page to index.php. This is more apache I think. any help would be grateful.

Just edit the .htaccess file located in your main HTML directory. If you do not have this file, create it.

 

To change the default page, either edit the existing DirectoryIndex line or add the following:

 

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php

 

Add whatever you want to the string and it will treat it as your startup page if it finds it in the directory.

This is what I have now. I put Directoryindex in there. dont know if its right. apache 1.3 on win 98

DirectoryIndex "index.php"

Leave the quotes off of index.php.

nope... switched the override and directory index and comment everything out about directory. still no go.
